- allow deletion of multiple styles simultaneously
- split Zotero.Styles/Zotero.Style and Zotero.CSL into style.js and csl.js respectively
- add Zotero.File.getBinaryContents for binary-safe file reading
- add Zotero.MIMETypeHandler to provide a unified interface for registering observers and capturing MIME types with Zotero
- Still experimental and incomplete, with no lock support and not much error handling
Also:
- New expiry date for sync functions
- Attachment character set was being dropped during syncing
- Possibly improves sizing issues with preferences window
- Fixes problems with attachment filenames with extended characters
- Fixes some problem with tags that I don't remember
- Makes XMLHTTPRequest calls are now background requests (no auth windows or other prompts)
- Z.U.HTTP.doOptions() now takes an nsIURI instead of a URL spec
- New methods:
- Zotero.Utilities.rand(min, max)
- Zotero.Utilities.probability(x)
- Zotero.Utilities.Base64.encode(str) and decode(str)
- Zotero.getTempDirectory()
- Zotero.Date.dateToISO(date) - convert JS Date object to ISO 8601 UTC date/time
- Zotero.Date.isoToDate(isoDate) - convert an ISO 8601 UTC date/time to a JS Date object
changes default behavior. transparent redirection is now enabled by default, and a caution dialog appears when proxies are first accessed. when transparent redirection is turned off, no dialog appears, and proxies get saved automatically. when the user switches transparent redirection on, there is a warning that s/he should check that there are only trusted proxies in the list. i'm not sure how well i've worded the messages, so feel free to suggest better alternatives.
also, a bit of jsdoc cleanup on proxy.js
closes#831, transparent EZProxy support
adds a proxy pane to the preferences
asks before saving proxies to the DB (to avoid the potential phishing risk #831 would otherwise pose)
closes#704, EndNote to Zotero style converter (won't actually convert styles due to copyright concerns, but will load them into the DB)
also adds CSL style manager
- Inspired by Dan Chudnov's Python/MODS-based Zeroconf demo at THATcamp
- Enabled by extensions.zotero.zeroconf.enabled (off by default)
- Currently supports only OS X (tested on Leopard, not sure about earlier versions)
- Uses Apple's dns-sd and mDNS command-client clients, but should be able to be extended to other clients, though a native library would be far superior
- Discovery is on-demand for now via Actions menu ("Search for Shared Libraries")
- Includes rudimentary web server (code copied from integration.js) that serves items as sync XML -- no authentication yet!
- Only supports top-level items
- Remote libraries show up in left pane (under remote computer name, for now)
- Items can be dragged into collections (but not the library yet, for some reason)
- On first run, might cause a long pause and the "This file was downloaded from the Internet" message on Leopard -- can't manage to get around the quarantine for the script file that we need to access stdout from Firefox
- Needs a lot of work, and without a real JS (or otherwise Mozilla-native) Zeroconf library we can't do proper discovery without intermittent polling
- But it works, at least for me
Also includes some data/sync-layer changes that I needed along the way (and that we'll need for shared collections of any type)
Apologies for the massive (and, due to data_access.js splitting, difficult-to-follow) commit. Please note that external code that accesses the data layer may need to be tweaked for compatibility. Here's a comprehensive-as-possible changelog:
- Added server sync functionality (incomplete)
- Overhaul of data layer
- Split data_access.js into separate files (item.js, items.js, creator.js, etc.)
- Made creators and collections first-class objects, similar to items
- Constructors now take id as first parameter, e.g. new Zotero.Item(1234, 'book'), to allow explicit id setting and id changing
- Made various data layer operations (including attachment fields) require a save() rather than making direct DB changes
- Better handling of unsaved objects
- Item.setCreator() now takes creator objects instead of creator ids, and Item.save() will auto-save unsaved creators
- clone() now works on unsaved objects
- Newly created object instances are now disabled after save() to force refetch of globally accessible instance using Zotero.(Items|Creators|etc.).get()
- Added secondary lookup key to data objects
- Deprecated getID() and getItemType() methods in favor of .id and .itemTypeID properties
- toArray() deprecated in favor of serialize(), which has a somewhat modified format
- Added support for multiple creators with identical data -- currently unimplemented in interface and most of data layer
- Added Item.diff() for comparing item metadata
- Database changes
- Added SQLite triggers to enforce foreign key constraints
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionVacuum flag to run a VACUUM after a transaction
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionDate, .transactionDateTime, and transactionTimestamp to retrieve consistent timestamps for entire transaction
- Properly store 64-bit integers
- Set PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE on database
- Set SQLite page size to 4096 on new databases
- Set SQLite page cache to 8MB
- Do some database cleanup and integrity checking on migration from 1.0 branch
- Removed IF NOT EXISTS from userdata.sql CREATE statements -- userdata.sql is now processed only on DB initialization
- Removed itemNoteTitles table and moved titles into itemNotes
- Abstracted metadata edit box and note box into flexible XBL bindings with various modes, including read-only states
- Massive speed-up of item tree view
- Several fixes from 1.0 branch for Fx3 compatibility
- Added Notifier observer to log delete events for syncing
- Zotero.Utilities changes
- New methods getSQLDataType() and md5()
- Removed onError from Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doGet()
- Don't display more than 1024 characters in doPost() debug output
- Don't display passwords in doPost() debug output
- Added Zotero.Notifier.untrigger() -- currently unused
- Added Zotero.reloadDataObjects() to reset all in-memory objects
- Added |chars| parameter to Zotero.randomString(len, chars)
- Added Zotero.Date.getUnixTimestamp() and Date.toUnixTimestamp(JSDate)
- Adjusted zotero-service.js to simplify file inclusion
Various things (such as tags) are temporarily broken.
Closes#285, Hitting Esc should close tags popup
Fixes various UI issues and problems adding tags on Minefield
Still getting autocomplete self-destruction
This is a bit uglier, and the large markers are kinda annoying once you know the drop-down is there, but perhaps this will stop the forum posts. Please let them stop.
If anyone's out there, now would be the time to test this.
Missing icons for the new types -- I could try to get some of those now, or we could just launch. Maybe we'll just launch. But really, might want to test this. Just sayin'.
Changed creator type <label> to <toolbarbutton> -- hopefully won't have any ill effects with other platforms' default themes (I haven't checked)
Moved some metadata pane CSS from overlay.css to zotero.css
